ELISE is arguably the most versatile Hinckley Talaria 40 on the water. Her prior owner, an avid fisherman, wanted a great-looking, refined Downeast-style boat that would be as comfortable entertaining family and friends as raising fish offshore. In 2012, with the help of Rhode Island naval architect Mathew Smith, in-person Volvo Penta engineering, and Hank Hinckley, he set out to transform a well-loved T40 by replacing the standard jet propulsion system with the latest and greatest Volvo IPS drive propulsion system. The result is a transformation that tracks better, turns better and has a more efficient midrange cruise than her jet-powered counterparts. She can also dynamically position herself (GPS Lat/Long) in one spot at the push of a button, a feature not only handy around the docks, but also while waiting for bridges, or watching an up-wind mark rounding during a sailing race. The further addition of outriggers (removable), rod holders, a baitwell, and a slightly modified cockpit allows for refined fishability not found in many boats.

ELISE is an impeccably well cared for, capable, and well-rounded vessel equally suited to cruising and fishing. Those inspecting her will find she is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition with the most up-to-date electronics and engineering available in today’s market. Currently, she is in a heated winter storage facility in Portland, Maine about 10 minutes from the Portland Jetport.
